Amurrio was traditionally known as "El Crucero," a meeting point for routes between Castile and the Cantabrian ports. In the town center, the Ugarte Tower House (18th century), now the Cultural Center, the San Antón de Armuru Chapel (16th century), and the Church of Santa María with its 25-bell carillon, one of the largest in the Basque Country, stand out.
